How to call PUT router from POST router in Node.js Express?

rated 0 times [ 116] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 8373 / 10 Years ago, thu, may 1, 2014, 12:00:00

In Node/express I have a POST request that if it contains an id I would like it to call the PUT method instead. No redirect, just how to call the put method from the post method?

router.put('/:id', function(req, res) {

  // code ...

});



router.post('/:id?', function(req, res) {

  if (req.params.id) {

    // call PUT method

  }

});

I don't want to do a redirect, just make it as if it was part of the current request.

Move the code to a named function and call that instead.

function handlePut(req, res) {

  // code ...

}



router.put('/:id', handlePut);



router.post('/:id?', function(req, res) {

  if (req.params.id) {

    return handlePut(req, res);

  }



  // don't forget to handle me!

});
